I'm home! And so tired! I had a lot of fun at the TWICE concerts, ate good food, and even visited an aquarium where I met a penguin so even though there were lots of problems while travelling, I enjoyed my time a lot!! But I think I got sick so I might take it easy whenever I'm not feeling up to doing more work around the TCG, but I believe I tackled everything that was still pending from June except a few things that aren't as urgent or high priority right now like card fixes or merchandise pre-orders. If I missed anything that has more than a week old, please let me know!

Other than that, we'll see you in the next update on July 12!!

UPDATES

There's not much to report on this week since I was out of town so I wasn't able to do much, but here's a quick list of news/reminders:

• Upcoming Vote is CLOSED! Check back next week when it'll re-open.
• New cards have been added to Lost and Found, thanks to the drop offs from forum games.
• Remember that Daikichi's Treasures resets after a weekly update is posted so you can make 2 swaps each week!

However, we do have a little surprise for you all, thanks to a chat we had on the Discord last week with many of you which inspired it: a Tanabata-themed mini event! Click on the banner for more info, and register you and your partner over on the forums to get started! Do note that only registration begins today; the actual event and its mini games will start on Friday, July 7th.

Event Period: July 7th, 2023 ~ July 31st, 2023

FREEBIES

It's my beloved Barbara's birthday so everyone can take choice cards spelling BARBARA – but no more than 2 per deck! It won't say this on the page where you submit your pulls but please remember this! If you forget and take more than allowed, you can just edit your pulls and report it in the account errors thread so we can update your log later.

Wishing Tree

Please take 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions specified otherwise!

1. Mari — I wish for choice cards spelling TANABATA!   
2. Jun — I wish for a merchandise gift, since I do not see many have picked up something yet. Maybe 3 free manga or light novels?! (Everyone can take 3 merchandise items of any type and any combination!)

New Decks

Click here for your deck release pulls.

Welcome to July! There's not much to report today besides the usual monthly stuff which will be mentioned later, but I do want to encourage players to join our Discord if you haven't yet! It's super easy to make an account and join the server, and if you're uncomfortable or don't like talking in big communities then there's no requirement to - but this is where we (and other staff) post all announcements, notices, updates, etc first no matter how important or minor it is (we then transfer/summarize the more important news to site updates though, don't worry) so it's a great place to stay informed, and also where some deck makers post previews of decks they make but haven't added to the site yet!

EVENT CARDS

First is the new event card for the month! Everyone can take this no matter your member status or when you join, as long as you take it before August.

There is also an event card to celebrate Sakura hitting its 100 decks released milestone thanks to yasu's double release this week! If you joined before today, go ahead and take it as well!

GAME UPDATES

Last night, I removed one of the games in the Bonus Weekly set due to an error I couldn't figure out at the time so Lottery has been replaced with Dice Roll! I've since been told how to fix it but since the change has already been made, Lottery will return in the future at a later date once I decide where to put it (or it'll be saved as a back up in case I need to replace/change something else).

To explain further about the original error in Lottery, the issue was that no matter what numbers selected, you would always get 0 right; this was because I didn't know I had to enter a set of numbers each time it updated as the original page for it in the admin panel (which is where/how the game is updated) didn't show this field so I thought the numbers would be randomly generated each time the game is opened.

That being said, all players who have access to the Bonus Weekly games can re-play Dice Roll as many times as you had previously played Lottery before and got 0 numbers correct! For example: if you've had this character skill for 2 weeks and played Lottery every week since then, you can play Dice Roll twice to make up for the error.

MONTHLY HOUSEKEEPING

Since it's a new month, Donations have reset so any claims from last month that weren't donated (including those claimed by deck makers but were not made/dropped off) on time have been cleared from the spreadsheet! If you submitted your June donations but haven't been rewarded yet, don't worry - they will not be removed and staff will check it as soon as they're able to.

If you celebrate a birthday this month, you can now pick up your gift from Birthday Party! While all Monthly games listed under that specific set were updated as well, please note that Sakura Spotlight and Sakura Matsuri will only be starting next month, which coincidentally lines up very well with Sakura's original anniversary lol

COMING SOON...?

Speaking of Sakura's original anniversary— although there's nothing planned right now, I've been known to pull out events the night before so while I'm not promising anything, don't be surprised if we end up doing something in August to celebrate!

And I think that's it for today! Next update is July 5 but I'm not sure who will be posting it so stay tuned and find out I guess! :juminsmile:
